Using Mixbook as a teaching tool
Teachers can easily use Mixbook as a tool to spice up any lesson plan or to create a entire lesson plan online! Mixbook is easy to use as and allows you to compile pictures and texts into a book format and read the lesson like a virtual book. Mixbook's setup allows you the option to choose an already compiled theme to get started right away. There are over 20 already made themes ranging from a variety of catagories or you can simply create your own theme before starting. Mixbook also provides you the option to decide just how big or small you would like your virtual book to be.
Once these two options have been selected you are now ready to start making your lesson. You can add text by simply clicking the text button or insert photos by clicking the photo button. The best thing about Mixbook is you can always add or delete unused pages so you do not have to worry about having too many or not enough. This website is great because you can access it anywhere just by clicking on the link of your finished product, this is helpful as you can email it to other students or teachers and do not have to worry about keeping track of a file as it will remain on the web.
Finally, my favorite part about this online tool is that it gives you the option to purchase your book when you are done. While the online aspect and themes are completely free you are more than able to purchase your online project in print form in which you will receive a book identical to the one you made!
In order for a teacher to easily use and access this site they must have the following goals met:
-Be able to create a username and password
-Be able to login to the account
-Access images and videos from online and upload them to the website
-Be familiar with word symbols such as (B for bold T for text etc.)
